Mohummud Siddick Chady (born in 1951), most commonly known as Siddick Chady is a Mauritian physician, politician, and former minister.[1]

Early life, education & career

Chady grew up in Rose Hill and travelled to Europe to study medicine. His family owned a number of businesses including Cinema ABC, and Blockbuster Video Network (BVN).[2][3]

Political career

Chady's political career started at the 1991 General Elections as a candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste/PMSD in Constituency No. 19 - Stanley and Rose Hill. He was defeated in that constituency by Jayen Cuttaree, Paul Bérenger, and Jean Claude De L'Estrac of Alliance MSM/MMM. However after the elections he was nominated into the Legislative Assembly as a Best Loser.

At the 1995 General Elections he was elected as a candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste/MMM in Constituency No. 19, alongside Jayen Cuttaree, and Paul Bérenger. Until 2000 Chady served as Minister Environment, Human Resource Development and Employment.[4]

At the 2000 General Elections Siddick Chady changed constituencies and was candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste-PMXD in Constituency No. 3 - Port Louis Maritime and Port Louis East. He was elected, along with Samioullah Lauthan (MSM-MMM) and Mohammad Nanhuck (MSM-MMM). Chady's election as a member of the Parti Travailliste in Constituency No. 3 was regarded as unusual as it had been a stronghold of rival party MMM.[5] However, Siddick Chady did not complete his 5-year-term as he resigned from the National Assembly in 2004 in order to resolve problems arising in his private business ventures. Chady's resignation did not trigger by-elections.[6][7][8]

At the July 2005 General Elections Chady was a candidate of Alliance Sociale in Constituency No. 3 but was he neither elected nor nominated this time.[9][10]
